Note –

Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 does not support HP-UX. But the future version of the product is planned to support HP-UX.

Before you install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, you must read the following instructions:

On SuSE Linux, only Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server are supported. This support is available only in the zip distribution.
On SuSE Linux, you must install as root otherwise you cannot use DSCC to manage your servers remotely.
You must apply a patch for Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) libraries.

It the patch is not applied, DSCC fails to authenticate the DSCC agent.
On SuSE 64–bit, you must install pam-32bit-9-yyyymmddhhmm.rpm

If pam-32bit-9-yyyymmddhhmm.rpm is not installed, cacaoadm start fails.
The Linux delivery, which works on both Red Hat and SuSE Linux, is labelled for Red Hat only.

You can obtain Solaris patch clusters and avoid downloading most individual patches. To obtain Solaris patch clusters, follow these steps:

Go to the SunSolve patch page at http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage.
Click the Recommended Patch Clusters link.
Download the patch cluster for your Solaris OS and Java ES versions.

Directory Server Enterprise Edition software is validated with full installations of the operating systems listed here, not with reduced “base”, “End User”, or “core” installations.

Directory Server runs in 64–bit mode on the following platforms:

Solaris SPARC
Solaris 10 AMD x64 systems

Directory Server runs in 32-bit mode on the following platforms:

Solaris x86 systems
Solaris 9 AMD x64 systems
Red Hat systems for x86 and AMD x64
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP3 for x86 and AMD x64

You must install Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server on Windows NTFS system. The Common Agent Container is not supported on Windows FAT system.

SuSE Linux Enterprise Server provides a set of scripts in /etc/profile.d/ to automatically set the appropriate environment as per the installed software. Therefore, you must reset the following Java environment variables to none before you start working on the product using commands.

JAVA_BINDIR
JAVA_HOME
JRE_HOME
JAVA_ROOT
